body

Requested Benefit:
1. Service-Connected Disability Retirement with Supplemental Retirement Allowance

Staff Recommendation:
1. Richard A. Roberts is permanently incapacitated for the performance of duties and a disability retirement should be granted.

2. Richard A. Roberts' disability is nonservice-connected based on the claimed injury(ies)/disease as listed in Exhibit A; therefore, grant a nonservice-connected disability benefit.

3. Richard A. Roberts is not capable of gainful employment; therefore, grant the supplemental disability retirement allowance.

4. Staff shall initiate disability benefit payments with an effective date of August 27, 2022, the day after the last day of regular compensation.

BACKGROUND:
This matter is in closed session because the Applicant is permanently incapacitated, but there is not a real and measurable connection between the incapacity and employment. Therefore, staff recommends granting a nonservice-connected disability retirement. Further, the applicant is not capable of gainful employment. Therefore, staff recommends granting the Supplemental Disability Retirement Allowance.
